OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Donald Trump’s hometown, urging thousands of newly minted American university graduates to fight a rising tide of intolerance and aggressive nationalism around the world.

Officials had billed Trudeau’s three-day trip to New York and Boston as focused on trade and the economic relationship between Canada and the U.S., with looming NAFTA deadlines as a backdrop.

But Trudeau’s message to more than 10,000 New York University grads at Yankee Stadium is all about respecting people that don’t look or think like they do, and engaging with people with whom they might not agree.
